ACTIVE AERODYNAMICAL FIN OPTIMIZATION PGK FUZE IN 155MM ARTILLERY SHELLS

The Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) revolutionizes conventional 155mm artillery by converting unguided shells into smart munitions. This is achieved by replacing the standard fuse with a PGK unit that integrates a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and aerodynamic fins. This innovation dramatically reduces the Circular Error Probable (CEP) from over 200 meters to under 50 meters, often reaching as low as 10 meters. Such enhanced precision significantly boosts battlefield effectiveness, reduces ammunition expenditure, and alleviates logistical burdens. For safety, a crucial fail-safe mechanism disarms the fuse if GPS signal is lost or the round deviates off-course, minimizing collateral damage. The PGK provides near-precision accuracy, comparable to more expensive fully guided systems, at a substantially lower cost by retrofitting existing ammunition stockpiles. Its affordability and ease of integration establish the PGK as a vital asset for modern artillery, enhancing both precision and sustainability for military operations.
